Any ideas before I go looking into where I can get replacement No plate lamp globes for nice crisp white LED units, Think you can get a festoon replacement globe for the original holders? (MK4 golf)...............VW..........

Are you looking for something like this? - http://www.ngmotorsport.com/shop/products/48.php & http://www.ngmotorsport.com/shop/products/47.php

Wait, never mind, was half-awake so wasn't reading properly lol.

I've bought some LED lights for different fitments and such from http://autolumination.com/ before. You could try them out if SuperCheap/Repco/Autobarn don't have what you want.

Just be sure to get the wires and socket lined up with aftermarket LEDs. I'm having a heck of a time with one in my stoplights, and it would have to be the one behind my built in sub box, where access in difficult. Quite annoying! Then again on a number plate light that might be a bonus!

I got mine from Autobarn.

I upgraded my number plate lights to a crisp white about a year and a half ago. I brought mine from kmart and I have never had a problem with them, and they were a he'll of a lot cheaper than everywhere else I looked. I get slot of people commenting on how good they look too.

Are they LED?

Yes there are 3 led in each globe, here are some pictures to show you the difference between the standard globes and the new led's.

Hope these help you,
